If You Are Having Difficulty with Your FAX/MFC

If you think there is a problem with your FAX/MFC, make a copy first. If the copy
looks good, the problem is probably not your FAX/MFC. Check the difficulties below
and follow the troubleshooting tips.

Printing or Receiving Faxes

Condensed Print and Horizontal Streaks;
Top and Bottom of Sentences Cut Off
If your copy looks good, you probably had a bad connection, with static or
interference on the phone line.
Vertical Black Lines When Receiving
The sender's scanner may be dirty. Ask the sender to make a copy to see if the
problem is with the sending machine. Try receiving from another FAX/MFC.

Phone Line or Connections

FAX/MFC Does Not Answer When Called
Make sure the FAX/MFC is in the correct receiving mode for your setup (either
FAX, F/T (FAX/TEL), TAD or MSG CTR). Check for dial tone. If possible,
call your FAX/MFC to hear it answer. If there is still no answer, check the
telephone line cord connection. (See Connecting the Machine, page 2-5 and
Connect the telephone line.) Connect a standard telephone handset to the FAX/
MFC telephone jack. If there is no ringing when you call your FAX/MFC, call
your Telephone Company to check the line.
Telephone Answering Device (TAD) Does Not Answer When Called
Connect the telephone line cord from your TAD to the back of the FAX/MFC,
in the jack labeled EXT. Make sure the TAD is set to answer calls. (See
Connecting an External Telephone Answering Device (TAD), page 2-7.)
